Popular Post Tony MaC Posted August 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2019 The fact that he has a little chemistry with Darnold bodes well but it didn't keep them from signing a retired Kalil for 8 million which, I think, speaks for itself. I'm happy to have Harrison around as a backup, I'll say that. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14 in Green Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't on the opening day roster. I have a feeling he'll decide to go back into retirement, unless he just wants the money. I watch the Panther games almost every week, I live in the Carolinas. He is nowhere near the player he was, do to age, and injury. I said the same thing back in April, and again when everyone was going overboard with him signing here. I have no idea how his contract is structured, but if a lot of that 8 million is guaranteed, he'll obviously make the team if he wants to be here. I just don't think he's much better then Harrison at this point, maybe not at all. This move never excited me. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, maybe not a huge upgrade and certainly not a physical upgrade but he does have the IQ and ability to help Sam call protections at the LOS so mentally it is definitely an upgrade...whether or not his body can hold up for 16 more games is an entirely different conversation but in ways, yes, it is an encouraging signing, albeit, an older player.

I suspect he'd like to play. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raideraholic Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Once Ryan Kalil plays in week one his salary fully becomes guaranteed. So unless they cut him ,( Last cut period) he going to be with the Jets for at least the whole year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is if he gets beat a bunch he fakes an injury to save face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always looked at it as a huge upgrade to the depth at center. He's probably a little better than Harrison at his age, so not a huge upgrade to starter, but a huge upgrade to 2nd string.

Khalil is good depth signing... but not at that price. It's a 1 year deal & we had the money, no biggie. I think JD was thinking Harrison now becomes great depth at Center & Guard. Kalil won't have to hold blocks nearly as long for Sam as they did for Newton. Cam is notorious for holding onto the ball too long & his release is much slower + he's been playing hurt A LOT which slowed him down even more.

Greenbloodblitz Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I think they brought him in for his presence... kind of like they keep McClendon around on the defensive line. That being said I actually thought that the backups and reserves on the offensive line looked pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRL Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Kalil will be a good test for the Gase/Douglas combo. Because Harrison hasn't had a hiccup all summer, he's performed well and seems to have good chemistry with Darnold. In my book Kalil has to at least match Harrison's performance before he can start. His contract value shouldn't dictate that he starts his performance should 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam seems to trust him as well. I'd hate for us to disrupt that just because we signed a "name" player. Let's not forget Kalil hasn't been the same player the last 2 years (injuries a factor). I know they are giving Kalil 8 million, but I'd be ok if they brought him in because a) they wanted depth better than Toth and b) to be a locker room presence and a mentor to Harrison.

I realize he snapped the ball over your beloved Sammy’s head but I think he deserves some time to learn the offense and knock off some rust.

I'm sure we are all ok with the Kalil signing, but may differ on what his role should be (at this point). We'll have to trust the coaching staff to make the right decision when it comes to Kalil or Harrison starting at C. I would say the only differences between the 2 is Bell is younger and was at the top of his game when he chose to sit out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 PFF had him as the # 16 Center last season. If he's still capable of being a Top 20 Center, or even a Top 25 Center, he's the best we've had there since Mangold retired. Beggars can't be choosers.

To be quite honest I am comfortable with both of them and I agree we have to trust that the coaching staff will put the best players out there. I have a feeling that Bell is going to have a great year. There is reason to believe that Kalil’s experience with reading the defense and calling out line assignments is going to really help Sam this season and in the long run. I was more making a point that we can’t go overboard reacting to a players skillset after one practice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
